Seems like Election Canada is following your suggestion.

More than 200 candidates running in riding where Poilievre hopes to win seat, as Elections Canada announces adapted ballot

The number of candidates running in an August byelection the Conservative Party of Canada hopes will restore its leader’s position in the House of Commons has surpassed 200.

I wonder how many ballots will be rejected because of a spelling error of Poilievre's name.

Why the Tories don't use you to make their election posters I'll never know?

 

[Rusty Canuckleford]

@Hirudinea Too bad for them, I stole this meme. I forgot which member made it now.

 

[RightOfSask]

If someone writes in "Smol PP" does it count for Poilievre?

 

[border_humper]

Asking the real questions…

 

[Hirudinea]

If someone writes anything it won't count for Pierre.

From the people who brought you “Fortifying Democracy”: the 200 candidate ballot.

I'm interested to know what you guys think, but I actually think this longest ballot thing might not be such a bad thing. In the past they have done this to candidates from other parties, including bloc, lib, and green. Curiously, not NDP. The leader of the org "seems" to be non-partisan as well. I can't find any political association or bias, maybe you know something I don't?

Either way, the current threshold to get on the ballot in Canada is 100 signatures I believe. If this was raised, to either be a set number or a percentage of the population, it would help to avoid these type of situations. So say, 1000 signatures to get on a ballot, or if the riding is less than 20,000 people say, maybe they need 2% of the riding's population worth of signatures. I was speaking with other people online about this group and after researching it a bit, while I found what they are doing annoying, I can kind of see their point.

Thoughts?

A thousand unique signatures and each candidate needs their own official agent. The longest ballot is a circle jerk where they are all sharing one agent and signing each other’s papers.

So what happens if Polievre loses this one? Is he done?

Is this how our elections will be rigged from now on? It exposes Canadian elections for the joke they are.

 

[border_humper]

CPCs are losers, so maybe they would keep a two-time loser. Or maybe Erin O’Toole is available.

 

[brutana_dilewski]

Why do we even need him? Anyone from anywhere can do anything, right?

 

[FiatFallacy]

Really looking forward to Polyever's victory!

This post made this FOID laugh

No one knows why

Hey, It’s Mrs. Potato Head!

 

[Hirudinea]

Baked potato.

 

[Chobes]

I don't think I've ever spelt Pierre Poilivre's name correctly tbh.

 

[HuntStevenson]

I mean theyre trying so hard to eliminate this guy that maybe he isnt wanted by the wef crowd.

Hes just some poor adopted kid married to some Venezuelan and probably not Laurentian elite material.

How many ballots will be rejected because they spell Poilievre's name wrong? All of them. This is a fix, PP is totally fucked. Oh and whatever you think of PP this is a direct affront to any pretense of Democracy in Canada.
